I don't know if this is a "newbie" question or an "expert"
question, so I'm asking in both... I'm hoping someone here
can give me a suggestion -- I can ONLY boot off my floppy
that I made at install. I am running Mandrake 6.0 (have not
upgraded from what is on the CD yet.) My system hardware is
as follows: Dual-PPro 200 mhz on a Micronics W6-LI
motherboard 192 Megs RAM
S3 Virge GX (Aopen PT75 Plus II) video card w/ 4 megs RAM
Advansys ABP940-UA Ultra SCSI
Hard drives: 1 x 850 meg Conner/Seagate, 1 X 10.5 GIG (only
formatted out to 8.5 GIG for some reason) Seagate
(full-height 5.25") SCSI drive.
USR "Big Picture" Video Phone capture card (PCI)
The problem is as follows: If I take my boot floppy out of
the drive, it just sits there at boot with a blinking
cursor in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
However, if I put the floppy IN the drive, it boots off the
floppy VERY slowly -- I can watch each separate letter of
"LILO" be typed.
This doesn't seem right.... any suggestions?
